BEER NEWS
Story #1: Beer and Bone Study a Boon for Microbrews? – Last week, researchers at the University of California Davis, published a study showing that IPAs and ales contain a large amount of dietary silicon, a mineral linked to bone health. A good thing for craft beer drinkers!
Story #2: The Best American Microbreweries – Here are seven of Ask Men Magazine’s favorite American microbreweries. They’re ranked for the taste of their products and for the hangout factor of their flagship brewpubs.
Story #3: The Best and Worst Presidents (When it Comes to Beer) – Since Monday was President’s Day we thought we’d be patriotic and pour some knowledge into your pint glass regarding America’s Presidents and their fascination with beer. With a little help from our good friend Rick Lyke of course.
BEER RELEASE OF THE WEEK
Deadlift Imperial IPA – Widmer Brewing Company – Portland, OR: Deadlift’s flavor stems in part from the Nelson Sauvin hops imported from South Island’s Nelson, New Zealand’s top hop growing region. These hops have an intense citrus, fruity, beer-like aroma and flavor not found in any other variety giving Deadlift a simple but fully braces malt backbone with enough malty sweetness and caramel character to complement the incredibly robust hop aroma and flavor. Available on tap and in bottles year-round at select West Coast retailers for a suggested retail price of $8.99 per four-pack. This is the first time Widmer has offered a four-pack instead of a traditional six-pack. ABV: 8.6%
